so glad you are not the GM

and you'll forever be a POP WARNER assistant special team coach if you think AJ Green isn't worth a 3rd rounder.. .

Except you said to offer our #3 this year AND our #3 next year that can turn into a #1. Lol

YES I DID.. you may find it funny but at least you are able to read and comprehend.. too bad you can't do MATH..

The point is, can you imagine the numbers he would put up in order to lead the league in receptions and TDs??

and imagine where are team will be he puts up those HUGE numbers??

I don't know, ask the Falcons, Texans, and Buccaneers where it got them. Lol

It's been proven over and over that you don't need an elite WR to win in the NFL. So you shouldn't be trading a 3rd and potentially a 1st for a 30 year old WR with only one year on his contract.

The fact that you're so worked up and angry shows you're not putting much analysis into this. You didn't even remember your original offer when responding to braap. Relax, dude. Your trade proposal is silly, it's okay. I like AJ Green too. I'd offer a 4th this year or a 3rd next year.

your offer is great, but IF YOU are running The Bengals, will you give away Green for a 4th or a 3rd knowing how good SF will be if they land Green??

You need to know that even w/the 3rd rounder, it will be a late pick..

As for not needing an elite WR, sure the Patriots have proven that.. but, any defenses will be on a serious mode when a "serious" WR lines up on the opposite side..

as far as my original offer of two #3s, where that second 3rd can become a 1st, that will ONLY happen if Green puts up an IMPOSSIBLE numbers of receptions and TDs... if it happens, we could be in a Super Bowl.. and giving up that 1st will not be so bad

Right because WR's who lead the league in yards and TD's are in the Super Bowl year after year? Come on, man. You are WAY overvaluing the WR position.

And yes, if I'm the Bengals and I know that I'm not going to re-sign Green after next year, I'd take a 4th this year or 3rd next year. The Bengals are in tank-mode so why would they keep Green for just one more season?

The Bengals are never active players in FA thus if Green walks clean, they would net a 3rd round comp pick in all likelihood. So that would be where any comp for a trade would likely start.

They also like to resign their own, so good chance IMO they would keep AJ.

Again, I don't know how comp picks work. If that's the case, I'm good with a 4th this year and 3rd next year. Then if we lose him to free agency, we get the 3rd round comp pick back.

I'd offer a 5th rd and nothing less. This guy can't stay on the field and is getting older. I'd want a body cast in return just in case. Too many people here get caught up in the name and not the performance of the player. Eric Berry for example. I'm not trading away anything less than a 5 for an aging and injury prone WR that will be wanting big $$

He's averaging 2.1 missed games per season over 8 seasons in the NFL. The exact same average as Julio.
I would not consider him injury prone.

Let's look at the recent, in his last 3 years he's only played 1 full season. Having serious foot injuries raises a flag going fwd with age. So maybe he hasn't been injury prone throughout his whole career but as of recent,,,yes he is injury prone.

Good post wailers!

WE... .. WEEEE... as in US !!!

what part of WE COULD BE IN THE SUPER BOWL.. do you NOT understand..

I didn't put down WRs who lead the league in yards and TDs (I didn't even state YARDS)... I said RECEPTIONS... are in the Super Bowl year after year...

I'm only pertaining to OUR team.... just OUR.. .the 49ers..

Green catches about 90+ balls, and score about 15TDs, and WE COULD BE IN THE SUPER BOWL...
If Bosa goes #1:

Bengals get pick #2.

We get picks #11, #42 and next year's 1st plus AJ Green.

That would be my proposal.

.... ???

.. and some say my two #3s is a bad offer?
Now's the time with Juice out for a few weeks with the MCL Sprain. Got to get the passing game geared up for the rest of this season when we will need it most. I know it's only a half year rental guaranteed, but this team needs a bonafide threat on the outside. Here's what I think we should offer:

49ers
Dante Pettis and a 3rd rounder in 2021

Bengals
AJ Green

Dante has had one good moment this year and a bunch of not so good moments. With Green in house and Deebo developing much faster than him, he could get a fresh start in Cincy. The 3rd rounder is the max I would offer in addition and hopefully for 2021.

Your thoughts...............

I don't think AJ Green is even healthy right now. He's still recovering from a ankle injury, suppose to be out for a while.

That's my question, I remember hearing when he got injured amhe should be back week 1, did he have a set back or this was the timetable always ? If healthy by week 8 I think the niners should def look into trading for him, I wouldn't mind Pettis and 2021 3rd rd pick..
We don't have the cap room to make a deal for him, and keep him in 2020 and beyond.
The 49ers have $18.5M, but they need $2.9M for per game roster bonus paybacks, plus $4M for incentives for Sherman, then we're left with $11.7M for the season, barring any in season moves(unlikely they don't make more moves), that would leave little to no carryover in a deal for Green or OBJ, and we won't have the cash/cap room to keep Green, or afford OBJ in 2020.

This. It all sounds great unless some kind of creative cap maneuvering would happen with trading of players & contract restructuring happening. Would be great but don't count on it
